How the Lambrini Girls Evolved from Chaos to Call-to-Action

Currently Listening to:
This latest single “DEAD TO ME!” kicks off 2025 for the band with a bang. The single may sound familiar to fans of the band since they have been playing it live for quite sometime now, but the studio version is finally here and paired with a kickass music video.
DEAD TO ME! is set to bring in the new era of music from the band while still connecting to their past music, “a reintroduction to what we have represented, and a good path leading to what’s to come.” When listening to the single I could hear inspiration from their earlier stuff, especially songs like ‘Reincarnate,’ while still managing to give new life to their sound.
The song draws from religious trauma and anger from the situations we grew up in and is used as an “fuck you” to that past, Lyricist/vocalist Amy Walpole also admits she uses it to release anger towards anyone in her life she thinks deserves it when playing the song live.
Amy said: “When I’m playing it live, there’s a bunch of other people I’m thinking about who are dead to me.” And with lyrics like “You got a glimpse of all your sin, Dead to me, dead to me” sung with such anger and power repeated in every chorus, who can blame her?
The song heavily reflects on all the pent-up anger every girl has faced from the stereotypical expectations of how they should act; quiet, sweet, complacent, and cute. Whereas the song and music video are the exact opposite of that, its loud, messy, and grotesque, with imagery of maggots and “un-ladylike” acts, it perfectly encapsulates the emotions and truth behind these memories and situations.
And it’s not just the vocals and lyrics that make this song such a powerhouse.
The song starts with a simple bassline from bassist Alex Tompson and is built onto by guitarist Alisha Yarwood, the mix of distorted guitar and heavy bass adds to the anger of the song and how that emotion can mess with your head, add to that the powerful double bass drumming from Annabelle Joyce and it’s like your thoughts have been brought to life instrumentally.
If this single is anything to go by for their new era of music, I am very eager for the next release and hope they continue building this new sound they have found in their DEAD TO ME! Era.
